Our First Home: Dining Room 'Finished'

Monday, 20 February 2012

We had a productive week finishing off decorating the house. The roof in the dining room was fixed so I could finally paint! I cracked on with it straight away, and come the weekend Robin and his dad were putting up the wallpaper. And what a cracking job they did of it, too. I'm in love with my new Cath Kidston chintz wallpaper! They put it up on two of the walls, and the other two walls are just white. I plan to fill that with lots of pictures and kitschy bits this summer; once the carbooting season has began. I've already picked out some curtains I want to put up from my own vintage hoarding collection. The chairs are my charity shop find last summer - for free!! I painted them up in sweet candy colours and finished them off by re-upholstering the chair pad (I just have the green one to do!).

It's certainly changed alot from that before shot, hey! That was before we moved in, they were renters so it wasn't the prettiest of rooms. Above is the cutest hostess trolley I picked up in the summer. I use it to display my vintage tray collection :) and wheel food in from the kitchen, of course! I hope you all had a fun weekend too. Jessie, xo

Wow, this room looks really beautiful. I love the wallpaper, the chairs and everything! Having cupcakes for breakfast in your dining room must be wonderful... I found very interesting shopping in the Charity shops. That's not very common here...

Beautiful! We moved into our first house almost at this time last year - unfortunately its been a year of replacing the plumbing, floorboards, some windows, etc. etc. Looking forward to the fun stuff soon!
